Review summary

We enjoyed this cruise through Alaska so much we absolutely intend to return. Only negative was the rough seas on the way back to Seattle. But the staff did everything possible to make us all comfortable.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

For a "newbie" embarkation was somewhat overwhelming, until we were able to sit down and relax while watching others go through the process. Then the sailing excitement took over!

Ship experiences

Children's Programs

No children!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The ship staff can make or break a cruise. This staff absolutely made our cruise so very enjoyable. I can't get over how they remember our names and small details about our likes and dislikes as well as our special needs. This is a family and all passengers are part of the family!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Spotless! Not once did we have an issue with the condition of the ship. Finding our way around was easy after the 1st day.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We had 3 adults in an inside cabin. 2 beds on the floor and 1 from the ceiling. While it was a bit cramped for the 3 of us we made it work just fine. spent a lot of time out of the cabin. But slept well each night.
